著名的医生们秘密聚会,彼此坦率交谈各自所造成的严重医疗事故。这时,他们当中有一名新会员,提出了一个悬而未决的特殊病例——一这种医务界人士的秘密会议,总是笼罩着一种神秘的气氛。人们可能想知道,这种兄弟会组织之所以举行秘密聚会,是否为了不让外人发现他们对医学懂得了多少或者不懂得什么。在当代这种医务界的社团中,最秘密的一个是纽约一群最著名的医生所组成的自称为“X俱乐部”的组织。二十年来,每过三个月,这一小帮医务界人士就在沃尔顿旅馆聚会一次。他们锁上门,为探索未知王国而通宵达旦地忙碌着。
Well-known doctors met in secret and talked candidly about each other’s serious medical incidents. At this moment, a new member of them came up with a special case pending - a secret meeting of medical professionals who was always enveloped in a mysterious atmosphere. One might wonder whether the fraternal organization held clandestine gatherings in order to prevent outsiders from discovering what they knew about medicine or not. One of the most secret societies in today’s medical community is the group of self-styled “X Clubs,” a group of New York City’s most famous doctors. For two decades, every three months, this small group of healthcare professionals gathered at the Walton Hotel. They locked the door and worked all night long to explore the unknown kingdom.
